The U.S. U-20 men's team plays a second Milk Cup match in Northern Ireland this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. against Denmark. A win would give the U.S. a spot in the tournament's final.
If you want to get a glance at new MLS signing Omar Salgado, New York Red Bull Juan Agudelo, or any of the other U.S. U-20s that Thomas Rongen brought over for the tournament in Europe, be sure to tune in to the stream below, provided by the BBC.
For those watching, please share your thoughts, comments and play-by-play below.
Anybody know the US lineup / shirt #s ?
Here they are:

who should i familiarize myself with?
Gale Agbossoumonde, 22.
Salgado, and Badr for sure
anyone know of a place where you can get some scouting reports on these guys? you can find out everything you will ever want to know about some 16 year old short stop from the dominican republic but can barely find anything on the next generation of soccer players
#9 Omar Salgado (scored against China)
#22 Gale Agbossoumonde (currently with Sporting Braga in Portugal)
#24 Samir Badr (B team for Porto in Portugal)
are all good to watch.
Wearing the old kits. I like it.
Down side is you have to do some research still at the moment. A lot of these younger guys are spread between club teams, college and making the youth squads of larger clubs in Europe (like Gale and Badr or even like those not called up like Gyau at Hoffenheim – achtzehn99.de). Yanks Abroad has been pretty good about doing the interviews for you as have occasional articles from other sites like soccerinsiders.
Is Badr starting today because I saw that McMath started the last game (I believe)
Badr is starting today…
Wow, this isn’t good football at all…thought at this age we would be much better.
Badr is not looking good at all…
Horrible positioning by Badr… wow.
Anybody catch the US goal scorer? Looked like a scrum and the ball went in for us.
I believe it was Earnest Nungary. The camera angle isn’t very good but the number looked like a two digit number with either a 6 or an 8 as the last number. I could be completely wrong though because it was hard to see.
Need a midfield creator instead of Nungaray: Molano, maybe?
Dom Kinnear’s next project (previous see: Stuart Holden, geoff Cameron, Danny Cruz) is number 10 Navas Cobo. Ives has commented on his potential
Man, Agbossoumonde looks like a wall out there. He’s everywhere.
Gale looks great, and the commentators love him.
number 10 Navas Cobo too
Came in a little late, is Salgado starting?
All I have to say is this halftime show is making Allan Hopkins look like Bob Costas.
Thanks SBI for this. Good stuff. I’m really liking Gale as well.
What is the score? Sorry I am coming in late…
1-1
Yes, he is. He’s had his moments with some decent runs, but ultimately there isn’t that midfield facilitator to make it work out there.
Gale is a rock and expect to see him at the olympics in the next two years
Thank you.
The USA team needs someone in the middle.
Unfortunately, Gil and Jack Mac are not available.
Molano just WORKED that kid.
Yeah, not all the guys who would be on the first team u-20 aren’t/weren’t available on this team. A good look at the 6-foot-4 16-year-old Salgado though …
Did the linesman just make that up?
A yellow card almost 3 minutes after the play occurred?
Welp, we found commentators more boring than american ones… Its like watching golf.
Who is #21? Not listed on the roster.
If the ref want’s to give the card fine, but you can’t let the play continue then call it back and give the penalty.
Ditto.
I like the older kits too. Hints at the flag, but to heavy on the stripes. Also prefer the white-blue-white to all whites.
Ooh, can i pile on? This BBC Blast production is so horrible. What do these teenagers think they’re doing trying to put on this broadcast? I’m so upset that this game — which i should have no reason to expect to be broadcast — doesn’t have fantastic commentary and half-time production, etc. I mean, sure they know all the kid’s names and they’re offering up half-decent analysis, but if only they weren’t so boring.
I know. Denmark was allowed to take the ball up, almost score, lose it and get countered.
Then, minutes later, they get a free kick and a Gale gets a yellow card for the play that happened before all of that.
Who is calling this game? GOLDMEMBER?? I feel like this game is trapped in a bad scene from Austin Powers 3. (if only Beyonce could be there) But hey, at least they sold a lot of tickets for the game! great atmosphere.
Anyone else notice you can turn up the volume to 11? That might be the one positive of this production.
It’s getting turned off if they use “fair play” incorrectly again.
Yeah, they’re crazy.
Salgado has some real speed.
Interesting that Salgado looks like he’s on the wing rather than as the top striker.
Could it be said that right now we are…”streaming milk”????? ew.
So the US has one sub left, right?
Any thoughts of who should come on?
Or to zero
Just realized the BBC media player volume setting goes to 11. Fantastic, made my day.
I would punch either of these men if they spoke to me.
They might have the most annoying accents I’ve ever heard.
Fuad Ibrahim in the 78th! 2-1
What a goal. Who was that!!!???
Holy Golazo!
GOAL!!!! IBRAHIM!!!! Llarson came too far out and Ibrahim did well to control it and fire it on frame.
A “Fuad Shot”, as Berman used to say when Fuad Reveiz kicked a FG?
who scored for us just now??? What happened? damnit. got up for two minutes and missed it!!
great. was on the phone and missed the goal. anyone care to give us a detailed buildup for the goal?
The thing I like most, when looking at a picture of our starting Starting XI, is that over half of the field players are as tall or taller than Gale – and they aren’t just defenders – Mids, Forwards and Defenders.
The wide variety of American physique’s is starting to populate our rosters, and I think that bodes well for our future.
I know height isn’t all – but it helps against teams like Ghana.
yikes. 2-2.
Oh noooooes. Perry Kitchen own goal.
We got a third – too bad it was for them.
Oh, SO unlucky.
well that sucks
But these go to eleven
jeez, what a mess
That goal should not count, the US player was rugby tackled from behind.
Navas Cobo in! Save us baby. Go Dynamo
ugly goal. but they’ll take it.
well thats awesome
GOAL!!!! 3-2!!!!! WOOOWW!!!UNBELIEVABLE!!!
3-2. usa.
Wow, this game is a rollercoaster of emotion.
Good night this is killing me!
ibrahim has been the difference this 2nd half.
I’m not a possession freak, but now’s the time to KEEP POSSESSION!!!!
Crazy last 10 minutes
wow.
He has been one of the most impressive players for the US today
who scored the 3rd
wow, Agbossoumonde is unquestioned when he goes up for the ball. What a beast
Gale is something else.
Who do they play in the final now?
Well that’s what I’m talking about! Never say die! Don’t tread on us!
Adrian Reulas
USA-Northern Ireland in the Final. N. Ireland just whooped China, 5-0. (US beat China 1-0)
Was not overly impressed with the US keeper this match. he seemed to always be out of possition.
the girl’s accent is hilarious
Was it me or did the US look like they were playing a 4-6-0 a lot of the time. Agudelo seemed to be on the wing half the time…
Any way someone can post highlights of the goals?
Northern Ireland.
Looks like highlights might show up here:
link to bbc.co.uk
Can we call him Gale abosslasurus?
nice last minute win!
anybody have a link to highlights? I missed the game…
It’d be Gale Agbossaurus, but yes we can.
Best nick name ever.
Oh, I just think “The Boss” will do.
